Hi.
I have a AC87 that I just got Merlin running on. Quite fast btw. I have a my entire network behind it right now, connected via OpenVPN to PIA on Client1. I have a FireTV that appears to be running fine. I am looking at getting a Roku, and would like to dedicate 1 cable port on the back of the AC87 to it.
My goal is to evade the blackouts involving a little round ball. Since I already have PIA, I would like to first try to VPN the Roku to England, where there are no blackouts, while at the same time keeping the rest of my network VPNed to a US location. If that worked, sweet! If that didn't (and their blackout checker comes up with a mystery IP that puts me in New Jersey while I am in Colorado VPNing thru England), then I would try going strait out and using unblock-us to evade the blackouts. Unblock-us validates accounts with your IP address, so if I stay behind the VPN, then every time my ip changes I would have to log in and reset to the new IP....
I know almost nothing about routers. I learn at a reasonable pace. But really, how much am I biting off here? Is this the work of a couple of hours? OR am I signing up for a second job?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance for the help!
